This Nordic Ice Beanie is made using worsted weight yarn (Lion Brand’s Feels Like Butta in Ice and White) and a G 4mm crochet hook. The ribbing is worked flat and then joined in the round. The hat is then worked in the round with two rounds of half double crochet (hdc) followed by a round of hdc puff stitches. You can change colors like I did or make the hat in one solid color. You also have the option of leaving the pom pom off (I just happen to love the look of poms) if you prefer that look. I hope you enjoy making this crochet beanie as much as I did!

Step 1:
ch 2, yarn over and insert your hook into the next st, pull the yarn through. You will have 3 loops on your hook.
Step 2:
Yarn over for the second time and insert your hook into the same st. Pull the yarn through. You will have 5 loops on your hook.
Step 3:
Yarn over for the third time and insert your hook into the same stitch. Pull the yarn through. You will have 7 loops on your hook.
Step 4:
Yarn over for the final time and pull through all of the loops on your hook. Puff stitch made!

Do not fasten off. Scroll down to the “Assembly” section.
Use a tapestry needle to sew the seam of the brim.
Sew the top of the hat shut by weaving your yarn back and forth (see arrows) around the entire opening.
Gently pull on the yarn to pull the stitches together to close the the top. Be careful not to rip the yarn.
You will still have a small opening. Simply sew it shut.
I added a Pom Pom to my hat. If you want to add a pom pom but don’t know how to make one, you can visit my Santa Hat pattern for detailed instructions.
